Abstract
THE office of President of the Board of Education has again become the shuttlecock of politics, pointedly illustrated by the remark so aptly made by a member of the House in the course of the important debate of July 18 on the introduction by Mr. Henderson of the Education Estimates, that “I have sat for eleven years in this House, and I have heard during that time no fewer than five Ministers make their statements on educational matters.” It is thus that we are content to deal with the vital question of education. The circumstances of the war have forced home upon the attention of the least reflective of politicians the claims of the subject to the serious attention of the nation.
